Fed rate cuts could spark a new stock bubble, SocGen says. Here's the level to watch in the S&P 500.
US stocks risk entering a bubble in the coming months, SocGen strategists say. Fed rate cuts risk adding further fuel to an already record-setting rally in stocks. The bank is eying a key level for the benchmark index that would signal the risk of a bubble. The market sees about an 85% chance that the Federal Reserve delivers a rate cut in September — but doing so could put the stock market on track to enter bubble territory in the coming months. That's according to strategists at Société Générale, who said they saw the possibility that the S&P 500 becomes overheated sometime in the next year. The level of the S&P 500 they're warning investors to look out for is 7,500. That implies a 19% gain for the benchmark index, and would signal that the speculative mania has reached bubble proportions. Here's what they're eyeing. 1) Fed rate cuts. Investors are widely expecting the Fed to cut interest rates, with the odds of a September rate cut spiking after the July jobs report was unexpectedly weak last Friday. According to the CME FedWatch tool, the market-priced probability of a 25-basis-point rate cut next month has jumped to 87%, up from 63% a week ago. "Gradual rate cutting could add to the positive effect of cyclical data, while aggressive Fed rate cuts to the terminal rate could drive a market valuation bubble," strategists wrote. 2) Bullish runway. Fed rate cuts are also adding to an already-positive environment for stocks, strategists said, pointing to factors like higher growth, healthy debt-taking in the private sector, and corporate activities improving from lows earlier in the business cycle. "Strong returns from the S&P 500 over the past three months have borne out our US outlook, crisis of confidence is short-term," strategists wrote. The S&P 500 reaching 7,500 next year would imply valuations similar to levels seen during the peak of the dot-com bubble, according to SocGen's analysis. The bank's base case is for the S&P 500 to land around 6,900 by the end of next year, implying a 9% gain from current levels. Chatter about a potential stock market bubble has been percolating around Wall Street in recent months, given the S&P 500's record-breaking rally. Stocks have quickly rebounded since bottoming on April 8 following Trump's tariff announcements, with the S&P 500 up 28% since then.

Trump Administration Posts Guidance on Tariff Rollout
(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump's expanded reciprocal tariffs will not apply to any products loaded onto a vessel for transport into the US before 12:01 a.m. New York time on Thursday, according to guidance issued by US Customs and Border Protection. PATH Train Service Resumes After Fire at Jersey City Station Chicago Curbs Hiring, Travel to Tackle $1 Billion Budget Hole Seeking Relief From Heat and Smog, Cities Follow the Wind Mayor Asked to Explain $1.4 Billion of Wasted Johannesburg Funds The notice, posted by the federal government on Monday, outlines implementation of the tariffs Trump announced last week, which are expected to ratchet up levies on dozens of trading partners. Expected exemptions for products under the US-Mexico-Canada free trade agreement negotiated by the president during his first term are included in the document, as are exemptions for relief items like food, clothing and medicine set to be distributed as aid. So is the president's threatened penalty of a 40% tariff on goods deemed by the federal government to be transshipped to avoid country-specific duties. Taken together, the average US tariff rate will rise to 15.2% if rates are implemented as announced, according to Bloomberg Economics. That's up from 13.3% earlier and significantly higher than the 2.3% in 2024 before Trump took office. Trump's country-based tariffs have been billed as the centerpiece of his plan to shrink trade deficits and pressure companies to shift manufacturing jobs and investment to the US. Trump previously delayed his so-called reciprocal tariffs, first announced in April, to allow time for negotiations as nations sought to obtain better trade terms. Some countries, including Switzerland and India, are still attempting to negotiate deals to lower their duties ahead of Thursday's deadline. Trump is expected to unveil separate tariffs on imports of pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, critical minerals and other key industrial products in the coming weeks, meaning ongoing uncertainty for companies and investors. And on Monday, he also threatened to impose 'substantially' higher levies on Indian exports to the US over New Delhi's purchases of Russian oil. While his tariffs are already bringing in billions in revenue for the US government, the longterm economic impacts remain unclear, with critics saying they will raise costs for US consumers and businesses and exacerbate inflation.
